President Trump Directed His Attorney To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project
Buzz Feed ^ | 01/17/19 | Jason Leopold

President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.

Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. “Make it happen,” the sources said Trump told Cohen.

And even as Trump told the public he had no business deals with Russia, the sources said Trump and his children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., received regular, detailed updates about the real estate development from Cohen, whom they put in charge of the project.

Now the two sources have told BuzzFeed News that Cohen also told the special counsel that after the election, the president personally instructed him to lie — by claiming that negotiations ended months earlier than they actually did — in order to obscure Trump’s involvement.

Nothing Consiglieri Cohen says is ever true.

Mob lawyers would not live long if they spoke the truth.

It is important that we understand what the other side is thinking.

The liberal side wants blood, they want LITERAL blood. Wake up. They want blood.

They are happy that Betsy DeVos is injured.

They want blood, they want LITERAL blood. Wake up.

it’s called Hear Say...

Hear say is when Cohen heard it from someone else to lie.. This is just he said she said no proof of that. But Cohen is a known liar and knew being a lawyer that lying to congress is a felony. Would never have done it if he was honest!

could someone unlock the text and post this separately as an article? why isn’t Buzzfeed reporting this story?

17 Jan: WSJ: What Bruce Ohr Told the FBI
The Justice Department official’s testimony raises new doubts about the bureau’s honesty.
By Kimberley A. Strassel
Everybody knew. Everybody of consequence at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Justice Department understood fully in the middle of 2016 - as the FBI embarked on its counterintelligence probe of Donald Trump — that it was doing so based on disinformation provided by Hillary Clinton’s campaign. That’s the big revelation from the transcript of the testimony Justice Department official Bruce Ohr gave Congress in August. The transcripts haven’t been released, but parts were confirmed for me by congressional sources...

Crazy, Trump who is in the business of building buildings all over the world, was proposed a building that he did not take in Russia. Where is the news?

Michael Cohen is a CONVICTED FELONY LIAR! WHO would believe ANYTHING he says?

Is it true that his FATHER got the missing $33,000?

Hello, If any client “directed me to lie” he would be fired as a client before he could draw breath. Cohen is a criminal and has a criminal mindset from watching too much Godfather and Sopranos. You don’t get to “direct” your lawyer to lie. You seek advice from your lawyer about how to do things legally so you don’t get in trouble.

I despise lawyers like Cohen. What an utter dirtbag.

First of all, there’s no need to be so snarky and dismissive.

Lighten up.

Yes, it does not directly quote Cohen. But the premise is that he did say it, and somebody is passing on what he supposedly said.

Who tinkled in your cornflakes this morning?

I haven’t been nasty to you, so why did you single me out for an attack?

One of the people feeding info to reporter Jason Leopold was Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards, a US Treasury employee.
